As. Berdnikov et J. Chmelik, NEW ALGORITHMS FOR TESTING ACCURACY OF NUMERICALLY CALCULATED TRAJECTORIES OF CHARGED-PARTICLES, Optik, 102(1), 1996, pp. 13-17
The new method which enables to estimate the errors of numerically cal
culated trajectories caused by inaccuracies of the Field components is
proposed. The method is based on the integration of additional differ
ential equations together with trajectory differential equations. The
conservation laws of total energy and angular momentum can be consider
ed as a subset of this method, but the new method allows to estimate t
he trajectory or field defects even in cases where the traditional con
servation laws would fail, for example for magnetic fields without rot
ational symmetry.
